How to Eat WISELY.


"As a universal rule in health" says
a recent writer, land with rare excep-
tons in disease. that is best to be eaten
which the appetite Graves or the taste
relishes. Persons rarely err in the
quality of food eaten. Natures in
stincts are the wlsest regulators in this
respect. The great sources of mischief
from eating are three-quantity, fire.
quency. rapidity-and from these come
the horrible dyspepsias which make hui
man life a burden, torture, q living
death. By eating fast, the stomach.
like bottle being filled through fun
mel, is full and over-fowing before we
know it. But the most important reas-
on is, the food is swallowed before time
has been allowed to divide it in suffic-
lent small pieces with the teeth; for,
like ice in a tumbler of water, the
smaller the bits the sooner they are
dissolved. 1t has been seen with the
naked eye that if solid food is cut up in
pieces small as half of pea, it digests
almost as soon, without being chewed
at all. as if it had been we'll masticated.
The best plan, therefore, is for all
persons to thus commute their food;
for. even if it is we'll chewed, the commit
mutton is no injury, while it is of very
great Importance in case of hurry,
forgetfulness or bad teeth. Cheer
full conversation prevents rapid eat
ing. 1t requires about five hours for a
common meal to dissolve and pass out
of the stomach, during which time tn 8
organ is necessarily at work. when it
must have repose, as any other muscle
or set of muscles, after such length
of effort Hence, persons should not
eat within less than five-hours' inter-
val. The heart itself Is at rest more
than one-third of Its time; the brain
perishes without repose. Never force
food on the stomach. All are tired
when night comes. Every muscle is
weary and looks to the bed; but just as
we lay down to rest every other part Of
the body, if we, by a hearty meal, give
the stomach five hours work, which in
it's weak state requires much longer
time to perform than at earlier hours
of the day. it is like imposing upon a
servant full days labor at the close
of hard days work; hence the unwis-
dom of eating heartily late in the day
or evening, and no wonder it has cost
many a man his life. Always breakfast
before work or exercise. No laborers
nor active persons shonld eat an atom
later than shutdown, and then it should
not be over half the midday meal. Per-
sons of sedentary habits, or who are at
all ailing, should take absolutely moth
ing fer supper beyond single piece OF
stale bread and butter. or ship biscuit,
with single cup of warm drink. Su oh
a supper will always give better sleep
and prepare for heartier breakfast.

else of the whole day to grind it up and
